Virty [35]

Answer: 2. Bonds and bond energies of the molecule

Explanation:

The absorption spectrum is an electromagnetic spectrum which is used for observing the intensity of the radiations which have been absorbed by the substances shown by the pattern of dark lines or bands. Infrared and microwave spectroscopy are specialized techniques which are used for observing the bonds and bond energy of the molecules which can be observed by measuring the frequencies at which the radiations are absorbed.

List the following bonds in order of increasing polarity (ionic character). Give the electronegativity values for each atom to j

barxatty [35]

Answer:

A = B < D < C

C - S

Cl - Cl

F ← H

Si → O

Explanation:

The polarity of a bond increases with the increase in the difference in electronegativity. The dipole moment is represented with an arrow pointing the more electronegative atom.

A: carbon-sulfur

C - S

ΔEN = |EN(C) - EN(S)| = |2.5 - 2.5| = 0

B: chlorine - chlorine

Cl - Cl

ΔEN = |EN(Cl) - EN(Cl)| = |3.0 - 3.0| = 0

C: fluorine – hydrogen

F ← H

ΔEN = |EN(F) - EN(H)| = |4.0 - 2.1| = 1.9

D: silicon - oxygen

Si → O

ΔEN = |EN(Si) - EN(O)| = |1.8 - 3.5| = 1.7
